Success means achievement, accomplishment, victory, and triumph. The dictionary states that success is “The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted; the gaining of fame or prosperity” (The Dictionary.com n.pag.) and “The favorable or prosperous termination of anything attempted; the attainment of a proposed object; prosperous issue” (Hypertext Webster Gateway n.pag.). These are just dictionary definitions, though. One needs examples and instances in order to fully understand the meaning of success.
If you chose to be a partier, and not aim to be successful, then have fun. More power to you. Just please don't let me be paying for your ..................
lifestyle through government benefits/paying for a child you can't afford.
You can be successful and have fun. You just acknowledge that it takes hard work to be secure. Once you earn yourself money, you can do anything you like. You can party. You can travel. You can buy expensive luxuries. You can afford to pamper yourself. You can feel pride in what you've accomplished in life.
Successful does not equal a boring, monotonous life of constantly striving to make yourself ever more successful with out breaks. Some people do- most successful people use their success to make themselves happy. What makes you think you can't enjoy it?
To me- your life style sounds like my version of hell.That is a lifestyle you can't maintain. You may be having fun now, but wait until it bites you in the ***. $100 K in debt will seriously limit that Xboxing, drugs, and partying. Enjoy it while it last. Just remember- while you're having fun now living in the moment, the people who worked for their fun will be living well and happy the rest of their lives- not just for a moment.
Success is also something that is viewed differently in the eyes of everyone. This is because success means doing what you have always wanted to do, being where you have always wanted to be. If a man’s goal in life is to eventually get married to a good wife and have many happy children, and he accomplishes that, then he could view himself as having success. Success basically means being happy with what you are doing in life. John R. Amos’s statement supports this idea, “It's simply a matter of doing what you do best and not worrying about what the other fellow is going to do” (Cyber Quotations n.pag.). Just as in the book I read mentioned above; each woman was successful, even though they all had done something entirely different with their lives.
